Trump 'surprised' five men freed in UK bomb plot probe
Original: Trump ‘surprised’ 5 men released in UK bomb plotting probe
Donald Trump said he was surprised that five men arrested in a United Kingdom bomb-plotting investigation have been released. The remarks came after British authorities freed the men, and the comment drew attention given the sensitivity of counterterrorism cases and cooperation between the US and UK. It remains unclear what details of the case prompted his reaction or whether UK officials have responded.
Why now: A US president publicly commenting on an active UK counterterrorism case is unusual and politically charged.
